We miss Leo very much. Since he died our BLS class of 1956 hasn't been the same.
I always enjoyed talking and debating with Leo, whether we agreed or disagreed.
A great loss, we miss him.......

Leo had an everlasting impact on all of us. We miss his outstanding leadership in keeping our BLS Class of 1956 together for over 65 years and his unique perspective on the world order. I always looked forward to meeting with him and our discussions. I can see him now fixing whatever needs to be fixed. We miss him deeply.
Take care Leo

I just found out from a neighbor. I absolutely loved talking to Leo. I've been his neighbor from 27 years. One of the most genuine and nicest people. I used to talk to him at CFM market and on the street. I could tell he was extremely intelligent and talented and a great family man. I know he suffered a terrible loss in recent years, but he kept a happy attitude. He was a real old school, hard working man. I bet he could fix anything and was a great landlord. I always told him that someday he'd get back the property he had in Marco Island, now he has, but in a better place. God has a special place for Leo Topjian.

Leo's and my friendship grew over the years. As classmates we were casual acquaintances but became distant friends over the decades as Leo maintained our connection, as he did with every classmate. His efforts as our president were genuine and truly caring for others. He gained nothing personally except friendship, for which I'm grateful.

Dear Mary, Greg, Lauren, Annie, all the Topjians and Kings.
Marie and I offer our deepest sympathies at the tragic loss of of our beloved Leo.
He was a beautiful person, always warm and friendly, funny and insightful.
We enjoyed many lunches together and he had a special place in his heart for my father John.
I was just emailing with him a few weeks ago, and other than recently getting over the shingles, everything seemed to be fine.
I pray that God gives you all comfort and strength in this time.
All of our love and prayer,
Paul & Marie

I was fortunate to have known Leo for over 70 years, we were classmates at Boston Latin school where he was President of our class. Always concerned about his classmates, even more so in the last 30 years. Thanks to Leo, we always we always had great reunions, and about 2 years ago , he wanted to start planning for our 65th which is next month. It won't be the same without him. He was the glue that kept us together. We miss him sorely, may he rest in peace.

Dear Mary and Family,
I am so sad to hear this news of the passing of your dear husband. A quote I find comforting- "remember that love doesn't die- people do. When all that is left of me is love- give me away".
Thinking of you all during this difficult time.
